  1. Aw drat - looks like it still uses an #eWeLink account. I don't want some account in the cloud to run stuff. Deleted the HACS integration.

    So that's a bust. Glad the bulb wasn't very expensive.

  3. A thin tendril of possibility - sounds like there's something called #SonoffLAN that might control #eWeLink stuff without their bloated addOn.

    Might be my first use of HACS - looking into it.

  5. A little more time on #HomeAssistant today.

    I acquired a Sonoff #eWeLink series WiFi lightbulb with mixed success.

    Non-functional initially, but a firmware update and then it worked okay w Android App (in guest mode).

    Turns out to use with HA you need the AddOn plus an account. I really don't want to have an account to use a lightbulb.

    Might remove the add-on and give up on the bulb. Looks like they want to recreate a redundant mini-HA within their HA AddOn.

  7. Beware of #SONOFF Products in #HomeAutomation. If you have a choice, don't buy them! The #eWeLink App refuses to populate the WiFi Network to pair new devices if you do not deactivate 'Private WiFi Address' (MAC randomisation), 'Limit IP Address Tracking' & activate 'Location Services' and give access to 'Precise Location' on iPhone. #HomeAssistant . They even published a blog article about it, recommending to deactivate these vital protections, instead of fixing the App. #ChinaCloud #SpyWare 🤦

  10. I really wanted to see mm-wave presence detection and ZigBee 3.0 working together at a reasonable price. Check out #SonoffPresenceSensor and what to expect from this pretty funky sensor under $15! I'll show you how to use it in #eWeLink and #ZigBee2MQTT
